It's perfectly safe to use. Thicker cables are just the same cables with protective/more aesthetically-pleasing materials.

Heyo there

 

i am in the proces of building a new pc (watecooled) but am running into a problem

 

i need to hook up 5 fans (they dont have to be controlled since they are sub 22db fans).

 

Now i have found a molex to 3 pin and a 1x 3pin to 6x 3pin adapter(5 fans wil be connected to it).

 

I have noticed the molex to 3pin is quite the thin cable, is it safe to use or do you guys think it wil burn trough?
